Black Brook, in the county of Clinton and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Medicine for Dyspepsia and other Kindred Diseases, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists in a new composition of matter to be used as a medicine for the relief of dyspepsia or indigestion and other ailments and symptoms associated therewith.

My composition is made up of three different mixtures, which combined constitute the medicine. These mixtures are composed of the following ingredients combined substantially in the proportions stated, viz:

First a mixture having for its ingredients water, twelve ounces; glycerine, twelve ounces; pepsin, (scale,) preferably that known and sold as Park, Davis 85 Oo.s, one ounce, by weight; hydrochloric acid, chemically pure, one ounce. These several ingredients to be mixed together.

eighteen ounces; hydrochloric acid, chemically pure, one ounce. These ingredients are also mixed togetherseparate from the two preceding separate mixtures, and as soon as the pepsin in the first of said mixtures is dissolved the three mixtures are all combined and mixed together, which united mixture constitutes my improved dyspeptic specific or medicine, for making about three quarts of which the foregoing is the formula.

I do not restrict myself to the precise proportions of the ingredients herein stated, as these may be somewhat changed.

The dose is from a half to atea-spoonful in a wine-glass of water after each meal.

Having thus desoribedmy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
